Aigle introduces Aigle by Setchu, an Exclusive Capsule Collection Designed By Satoshi Kuwata

AIGLE announces its collaboration with Setchu, appointing its founder, Satoshi Kuwata, as Artistic Director of a new capsule collection entitled AIGLE by Setchu.

This creative encounter initiates a unique dialogue between craftsmanship, outdoor culture, and a deep respect for nature — shared values at the heart of both AIGLE and Setchu. The AIGLE by Setchu capsule collection will be unveiled in September 2026. Craftsmanship lies at the heart of the project, echoing AIGLE’s historic expertise. Drawing inspiration from the world of fishing and technical outdoor garments, Setchu reinterprets these references through silhouettes that are both functional and sophisticated, where elegance seamlessly converges with performance.

The collection introduces a reimagined visual identity for AIGLE. Its emblematic codes are revisited through Setchu’s lens: A-shaped pleats, the introduction of a signature double stripe, and a redesigned logo enriched with an origami detail as a subtle nod to the designer’s universe. The A-line asserts itself as a strong, structuring graphic signature throughout the collection.

“As a passionate fishing enthusiast, I am deeply honored to collaborate with AIGLE, a house renowned for its craftsmanship and outdoor expertise — it is a dream come true. For me, this experience goes far beyond fashion: it is a way to bring creation and passion closer together.” Satoshi Kuwata. The collaboration with Setchu embodies our conviction that exceptional craftsmanship and bold creative vision can redefine the garment experience. Together, we are shaping a contemporary perspective on the dialogue between style, functionality, and a deep-rooted connection to nature.” Valérie Dassier, CEO Aigle.

Founded in 1853, AIGLE is renowned for its expertise in outdoor apparel and for its iconic boots, crafted in France. Setchu, established by Satoshi Kuwata, winner of the 2023 LVMH Prize, stands out for its innovative approach to garment construction, combining precision, modernity, and understated elegance. With AIGLE by Setchu, Satoshi Kuwata offers a contemporary interpretation of AIGLE’s functional heritage, creating a hybrid collection where technical performance meets tailoring sensibility.
